The current pandemic has totally scared off the temp workers and large numbers of company employees
Yep. Thank goodness for self check out. Wally world would be sunk without them now. This week I did over hear a Walmart manager complaining about customers asking stocking employees questions and wasting their time. He of course was standing around and not putting product on the shelves.
If anything, this pandemic will hasten the deployment of robots.
We dared enter Walmart last Saturday night. I felt SO bad for the stockers. Many of them are probably hires off of the street and people walking up to them... where are canned tomatoes... when will you stock that box...
Deer in the headlights.
